Ecodesign and Energy Labelling Impact on refrigeration and air conditioning products

Do you know that more than 80% of the environmental impact of a product is determined at the design and most of the costs are committed then? On that account, Ecodesign Directive is actively working in the definition of new regulations that will result in more efficient and “green” products. Chillers, ventilation units, condensing units and refrigeration cabinets are among the products affected, with a high percentage of units going out of the market unless they are accordingly redesigned. This document aims to summarize the new mandatory requirements for these applications, with the purpose of facilitating the understanding to stakeholders and make it easier its application.
